Product Information
Product Details
Archetype Forms Soriana Sofa: One-Seater Chair & Ottoman
The Soriana Lounge Chair & Ottoman feature a low, inviting profile and generous, soft contours. They have no internal frame as the steel clamp supports the cushioning while adding an industrial design element. This innovative and unique design with simple construction techniques quickly garnered critical acclaim, winning the Compasso d'Oro award and cementing the Scarpas’ status as leading figures in postmodern Italian design.
The Soriana Pouf Ottoman complements the lounge chair and sofas, serving as an ottoman or extending them to a chaise, or as additional seating, a soft side table, or coffee table as needed.
The Scarpas' designs are featured in the collections of prestigious institutions such as MoMA and the Louvre Museum.
